Oh yeah....those things.

I never really caught on to PC Gaming, outside of Baldur's Gate and Age of Empires.

Might be cause I grew up on the Graybox though. Gaming just doesn't feel natural without having a controller in my hand.

(And yes, I know you can buy controller's for PC Games but you know what I mean).

Now you've done it. You had to go there and open that can of worms.

lol broke ass, cheap ass mofo's who think their free lunch tastes good.

The rest of us console players understand that maintaining severs and maintaining an elite, functional network costs Microsoft money and we don't mind paying next to nothing per month in exchange for it.

It's not about sitting around being friends, it's about inviting the never ending nerd rage that goes with provoking PC gamers.

Nerd rage can be the funniest thing to see, I agree. But it also goes on much longer than any normal fit of anger.

I'm not provoking PC gamers. They are elite.

I am mocking the common argument that XBL is a waste of money. If people want to play on a PC or whatever, fine, they probably have every reason to do so. If people want to pay scraps for XBL, fine, they probably have every reason to do so.

Seriously. I think my bank account can handle the $0.11 a day this breaks down to.

paying to play online was a shitty feeling after playing PC for so long, but like balli said - it averages out to scraps on a daily/monthly basis.

Pretty much. I still pay for XBL and it's not a bad deal since its comprehensive and makes sure all the games' multiplayer modes run smooth from a networking standpoint. That said, I can play SC2, Call of Duty, or any other awesome multiplayer game for free on dedicated servers on PC, which is obviously much better.

You pay when you upgrade your system every 3 months and I am thankful you take your crappy gaming skills to the PC instead of getting mauled on the 360.
